Reviews

Builders Breakfast Loose Tea

"We have shopped all over to find a replacement for Typhoo Loose Tea. This product is by far the best replacement and my Mum is happy now that she has her loose tea again - thank you ☺️"

— Amanda B. (5/5)

The perfect brew

"I am annoyingly fussy with tea. This one is my go to. Its a great blend. Really flavourful but still a traditional taste."

— Miss P. (5/5)

Disappointing

"As I find the taste disappointing and not nearly string enough I’ve been wondering if it our [filtered] tap water. Today I tried using bottled water but still disappointed. Maybe I don’t leave the bag in the water for the correct time?"

— Donald W. (2/5)

Love it strong

"Go this and the great British cuppa, very different in appearance and taste. This tea has a very strong tanning just what you need in the morning a full bodied hit of black tea that gets your mouth wanting more. Loved it"

— Kirsty D. (5/5)

Lovely brew

"This makes a wonderful brew. I use a cast iron pot with warmer under it and find that tea usually stews a little too much by the time you get to the last cup. This tea doesn't. The last cup is as good as the first. Very consistent and full of flavour,"

— Alistair J. (5/5)

Brings back memories

"We have tried to find somewhere to buy loose leaf tea for ages. It was a joy to find Bird and Blend in Brighton and even better to be able to buy a loose leaf tea that reminds us both of our grandparents. What we would call the ‘perfect cuppa’"

— Emma O. (5/5)

Great strength

"Really nice cuppa to have with breakfast or a wee afternoon break. We discovered this in the Nottingham branch. It was our first purchase from Bird &Blend and the lady in store was really helpful!"

— Lee C. (5/5)

Five stars strong.

"Amazing tea and very strong just the way I prefer. Very good taste. It’s a definite for another order."

— Raymond P. (5/5)

The only tea I need

"Just love this tea, it’s for all day, not just for breakfast! Strong and dark but not bitter - the only tea I need!"

— Ian T. (5/5)

Good tea. Tea bag broke easily.

"Good tea, but had better. Tea bag broke easily if you are not careful removing the string and tag."

— Joseph L. (3/5)

Q&A

How much caffeine would be in a teaspoon of builders tea?: Hi Leigh, Thanks for your question! The amount of caffeine in a cup of black tea brewed to our guidelines (100c water, 4 mins) tends to be around 50-60mg. You can check out this helpful article about caffeine in tea here: https://www.birdandblendtea.com/blogs/tea-academy/does-tea-have-more-caffeine-than-coffee You can always reduce the amount of caffeine in a cup of tea by using fewer leaves, boiling at a lower temperature and for less time. I hope this helps but please let us know if you have any other questions! Happy brewing, George @ B&B
